Birthday Card
Can't resist posting this before I go. Received a birthday card this morning from one of the saintly elderly ladies in the congregation, showing on the front a cartoon reproduction of Vermeer's The Kitchenmaid.
Underneath, the caption:
The Times: "Words can't describe the sublime way Vermeer has depicted the earthenware in this masterpiece."
The Sun: "Nice jugs!"
Would it be more disturbing to think she didn't understand the joke? Or to think that she did?

Thanks for the birthday greetings Daniel!
I've got a spare half hour on the Internet at the local library before we go out, so just checking for comments etc.
I may be around occasionally during the fortnight ...
